The basic features of the My Safe Savings adware:

My Safe Savings virus (or MySafeSavings) is an application that will charm you with its offers to help you save money more effectively. It promises to help its users find the best deals, price comparison tools, and other handy functionalities. However, just like the most of adware-type programs [1], it fails to stick to the promise. Besides, computer specialists would not deem this program as a potentially unwanted one if it would not possess some qualities that might be potentially dangerous as well. In particular, My Safe Savings is infamous for generating and showcasing various ads on the computer screen once it enters the system. The executable file of this so-called adware virus is called mysafesavings.exe [2] and if you notice this process running, end it via Windows Task Manager [3] immediately. It is nothing more but a computer parasite which slows down the computer system and delivers bogus notifications and fake ads. Read below to find out how this virus works and how to remove My Safe Savings ads from your search sessions. To get over with this virus quicker, you need the only thing – scan your PC with Reimage.

My Safe Savings spreads alongside other free programs and can be installed without user’s knowledge. When it places its components on the system, it starts collecting information about user’s browsing preferences. For example, it tracks user’s browsing sessions and gathers information like browsing history, search queries, clicks, downloads, saved bookmarks, favorite websites, computer’s geolocation, IP address and so on. Based on such information, adware creates and presents promotional content for the computer user whenever he/she browses the web. Most of the time, ads by My Safe Savings present various online shopping related offers, such as discount codes, vouchers and price comparisons that are considered misleading [4]. However, they can also fill your web browser with pop-up ads offering you to update your software (commonly – Java or Flash player). We kindly suggest you to avoid My Safe Savings ads at all costs because they have nothing in common with Java and Adobe [5]. In fact, it is not safe trusting any of offers suggested to you by an application which involves you into the advertising business against your will. Don’t forget that it can also track your every step online and do nothing more than ruin your browsing experience. On top of that, My Safe Savings redirect to questionable pages can also be expected. Mostly, websites that are promoted with the help of such technique force people to install unwanted software on their computers. If you don’t want to end up with another adware, browser hijacker and similar PUP, you should avoid this untrustworthy program. To keep your computer safe, do not hesitate with the My Safe Savings removal and kick this parasite out of your PC.

How can this adware hijack your computer?

Speaking of distribution of this adware, we have to say that there is nothing unusual about it. It spreads like any other typical potentially unwanted software – via bundling technique. Bundling allows software developers pack their products together and build software bundles that look like individual programs. Usually, such packs consist of one legitimate and well-known program and a few unpopular programs, usually browser hijackers or ad-supported apps. To avoid installing such additions, you need to be careful when installing new programs. It has been noticed that computer users tend to rely on Default and Standard installation methods while they should opt for Custom or Advanced one instead. These options, unlike the traditional Default/Standard ones, will allow you to review all the software package components, opt the undesirable ones out and, hopefully, avoid the My Safe Savings hijack. Please keep this in mind the next time you download a program from the Internet and open its installation wizard. If this PUP has already infiltrated your PC, read below and find out how to remove it.
